Application Launcher for Drive: A Flawed Integration Tool
Screenshots
Application Launcher for Drive is a free browser extension designed for Windows that facilitates the opening of Google Drive files with installed desktop applications instead of defaulting to Google’s suite of online tools. This functionality is particularly appealing for users who prefer the capabilities of their own software over Google's offerings, providing a bridge between cloud storage and local applications.
To use this extension, users must first install the Google Drive software for PC and sync their Google account. This ensures a seamless connection between the Drive and the installed programs. However, users frequently report issues with reliability and functionality, making it often cumbersome to utilize. Device requirements include a compatible Windows operating system and the Google Drive application installed on the PC.
